Philosophy In Film - 029 - The Grey

09/18/20 • 85 min

The Philosophy In Film podcast returns with a long-anticipated discussion of Joe Carnahan's 2012 Survival Film "The Grey". While all three co-hosts are willing to acknowledge some issues with the film, it does set the stage for an engaging conversation about the inevitable struggle against mortality, Nietzsche, existentialism, Dermott Mulroney's ability to sneak into a movie without being noticed, and the fringe theory that the The Grey may actually take place within Ridley Scott's "Alien" universe.
